IMPROVEMENT IN STOVE-FENDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 216,361, dated J une 10, 1879 applieatiop filed March 24, 1879.

To all whom "it may concern:

Be it known that we, HENEY TERSTEGGE, RoMANUs HENRY GoHMANN, and FRANK HENRY GOHMANN, of New Albany, in the county of Floyd and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Attaching Stove-Fenders; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, of which- Figure 1 is a front view showing the fender closed. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of swinging fender, parts being broken out. Fig. 3 is a section on line a: w of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 isa view showing the catch on plate and catch lug on fender.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in each. A

Our invention relates to certain improvements in the manner of attaching and swing ing stove-fenders, (or other parts on a stove necessary to swing,) by casting on (or otherwise placing) receptacle or receptacles on the plate for the fender (or other parts on a stove necessary to swing) to swing in, and thus avoid the costly manner of drilling and fitting to lugs as formerly, and enabling an unskillful person to replace the part when destroyed by fire or use.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use this our invention, we will describe its construction and manner of attaching.

In the drawings referred to, A is the stoveplate, on which receptacles I J, projection K, catch F G, are cast on, or otherwise placed. B is the swinging fender, (or other part on a stove necessary to swing,) having pivots H H, and catch-lug E cast on, or otherwise. These pivots fit into the receptacle I J. They are put in place by having the fender at right angles with the plate, first entering the upper pivot, then entering the lower pivot, which then rests, and has a bearing on the projection K, thus forming'a cheap and simple hinge or swinging joint. E is the catch-lug on fender, which is used to hold fender in place securelywhen closed. F G is the catch on plate, which is used to keep the fender from passing beyond the plate, and to retain it in place when closed.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The projection K, or its equivalent, in combination with the pivots H H, and the receptacles I J, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. i

2. The combination of the receptacles l J, pivots H H, projection K, catch-lug E, and

catch F G, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
